Kyupol think on this: what came first the conspiracy theories of Reptiods or the TV miniseries “V” ? (1983)

John Rhodes who started and has perpetuated this whole thing started in the 1997.

Dale Russell did his thought experiment in 1982.

Cause and effect? Media to urban legend mythology? Yup. Bug eyed grey aliens appeared on the Outer Limits TV show just before the Betty and Barney Hill case.

Sorry this is one where conspiracy theory is just a mangled version of a TV minseries as opposed to a movie and book being made out of a mangled conspriacy theory(Da Vinci Code and Holy Blood, Holy Grail)

Back on topic: seems like the Chinese have made a lot of neat horror films. Here's one for you made by Hammer about Chinese vampires in 1979 :http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070297/ The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires
